An experiment was conducted to examine the effects of adding microbial phytase (Natuphos) on performance in broilers fed a phosphorus-adequate, lysine-deficient diet. A wheat-soybean meal-sorghum-based diet, containing 1.00% lysine and 0.45% nonphytate phosphorus, supplemented with L-lysine monochloride provide 1.06, 1.12, or 1.18% 125, 250, 375, 500, 750, 1,000 units (FTU)/kg Each diet six pens 10 chicks each from Day 7 28 posthatching. Addition linearly increased (P < 0.001) weight gain...
The present study was designed to assess the impact of coingestion various amounts carbohydrate combined with an ample amount protein intake on postexercise muscle synthesis rates. Ten healthy, fit men (20 +/- 0.3 yr) were randomly assigned three crossover experiments. After 60 min resistance exercise, subjects consumed g x kg(-1) h(-1) hydrolysate 0, 0.15, or 0.6 during a 6-h recovery period (PRO, PRO + LCHO, and HCHO, respectively). Primed, continuous infusions...
The interaction between protein and phytate was investigated in vitro using proteins extracted from five common feedstuffs casein. appearance of naturally present soluble protein−phytate complexes the feedstuffs, formation at different pHs, degradation these by pepsin and/or phytase were studied. Complexes extracts appeared small amounts only, with possible exception rice pollards. Most dissolved almost completely pH 2, but not after addition phytate. Phytase prevented precipitation Pepsin...
An experiment with 224 weaner pigs (initial BW of 7.8 kg) was conducted to determine the effect dose dietary phytase supplementation on apparent fecal digestibility minerals (P, Ca, Mg, Na, K, and Cu) performance. Four blocks, each 8 pens 7 pigs, were formed. Eight treatments applied block in 43-d experiment: 0 (basal diet), 100, 250, 500, 750, 1,500, or 15,000 units (FTU) 1.5 g digestible P (dP; monocalcium phosphate; positive control) per kilogram feed. The basal diet, corn, barley,...
Phytate is a molecule rich in phosphorus (P). However, the P phytate of low availability to monogastric animals because they lack proper enzyme system hydrolyse phytate. Consequently, there high concentration manure from fed on diets containing phytate, and this can lead pollution environment. Because complex with minerals, starch, proteins digestive enzymes, it also has anti-nutritional properties. Limiting output by animals, increasing digestibility (availability) diet hydrolysing...
In contrast to the effect of nutritional intervention on postexercise muscle protein synthesis, little is known about potential modulate synthesis during exercise. This study investigates coingestion with carbohydrate resistance-type Ten healthy males were studied in evening after they consumed a standardized diet throughout day. Subjects participated two experiments which ingested either or 2-h resistance exercise session. received bolus test drink before and every 15 min exercise,...
This study examined whether a carbohydrate + casein hydrolysate (CHO+ProH) beverage improved time-trial performance vs. CHO delivering ~60 g CHO/hr. Markers of muscle disruption and recovery were also assessed. Thirteen male cyclists (VO 2peak = 60.8 ± 1.6 ml · kg −1 min ) completed 2 computer-simulated 60-km time trials consisting 3 laps 20-km course concluding with 5-km climb (~5% grade). Participants consumed 200 (6%) or CHO+ProH (6% 1.8% protein hydrolysate) every 5 km 500 immediately...
Muscle fibre hypertrophy is accompanied by an increase in myonuclear number, domain size or both. It has been suggested that increases precede accretion and subsequent muscle during prolonged exercise training. In this study, we assessed the changes size, satellite cell content throughout 12 weeks of resistance-type training young men.Twenty-two men (23 ± 1 year) were assigned to a progressive, 12-weeks programme (3 sessions per week). biopsies from vastus lateralis taken before after 2, 4,...
Abstract Understanding protein fermentation in the hindgut of pigs is essential due to its implications for health, and ileal digesta commonly used study this process vitro . This aimed assess feasibility utilizing digested residues as a replacement evaluating potential. In from cottonseed meal, maize germ peanut rapeseed cake, soybean meal sunflower were analysed using modified gas production (GP) technique curve fitting model determine their dynamics compare with use digesta. Significant...
The purpose of the present study was to examine effect increased protein intake on short-term decrements in endurance performance during a block high-intensity training.Trained male cyclists (VO(2max) = 64.2 ± 6.5 mL·kg(-1)·min(-1)) completed two 3-wk trials both divided equally into normal (NOR), intensified (INT), and recovery (REC) training. In counterbalanced crossover experimental design, received either high-protein (PRO; 3 g protein·kg(-1) body mass (BM)·d(-1)) or diet (CON; 1.5...
We examined whether exercise-induced lymphocytosis and lymphocytopenia are impaired with high-intensity training.Eight trained cyclists (VO(2max) = 64.2 ± 6.5 mL · kg(-1) min(-1)) undertook 1 wk of normal-intensity training a second week training. On day 7 each week, participants performed cycling task, consisting 120 min submaximal exercise followed by 45-min time trial. Blood was collected before, during, after exercise. CD8(+) T lymphocytes (CD8(+)TLs) were identified, as well CD8(+)TL...
Supplementation of microbial phytase usually improves the digestibility and utilization phosphorus in feedstuffs plant origin. The effect supplementation on digestibilities AA also has been examined, but results have inconsistent. This study was carried out to determine (Natuphos) supplementation, at a rate 2,000 units/kg, two basal diets apparent ileal (AID) GE, CP, AA, total-tract (ATTD) CP GE. contained 18% were formulated (as-fed basis) contain either low (0.22%) or high content (0.48%)...
Four experiments were conducted with weanling pigs fitted a simple T-cannula at the distal ileum, to determine effect of phytase supplementation four diets on apparent ileal digestibilities (AID) CP and AA, total-tract (ATTD) DE. Phytase (Natuphos, DSM Food Specialties, Delft, The Netherlands) was supplemented rates 0, 500 or 1,000 FTU/kg diets. A 20% (as-fed basis) corn-soybean meal diet used in Exp. 1; wheat-soybean 2; meal-canola 3; 19% barley-peas-canola 4. In each experiment, six...
